Now I can understand why people have a certain obsession with Zoyalina lol Rereading S&S (actually I've already finished it) I realize how obsessed Alina is with Zoya, I dare say that she is more than Nikolai in her entire duology (of course this was just ironic) but it's real she exalts Zoya in a way that makes any feelings she has for Maly seem like a facade.
I don't know if you've heard the latest news, but it looks like Dracula is going to return to cinema screens, I just saw on my phone that it will be produced by Luc Besson in partnership with Christoph Waltz. I'm shaking, anxious and afraid of repeating the same rereading from 92, I understand those who like the material, but I really wanted a version closer to what is actually covered in the book. My couple JonMina as an ardent couple that they are, Renfield without stereotypes, Lucy without the tremendous sexualization, Dracula as manipulative and megavillain and without romanticizing him as if he were innocent of something, Van Helsing without his caricatured and even exaggerated format, etc.
and honestly, on all sites it only shows the version of a Dracula wanting to find his wife lost in eternity, please show us the story as it truly is! Why distance yourself so much?!
Above all, and from the bottom of my heart, I hope it is at least a good adaptation.
I'M DEVASTATED!!!!!! SO ANGRY!!!!!!
no mourners no funerals my ass. i’m mourning and i’m funeraling
Count Dracula: "Hahahahaha! I will make you my thrall, and you will obey me for all eternity!"
Mina, trembling with rage: "Fucker who I am going to dox right this fucking second says what?"
The Count: "What-"
Mina: "I mean this in the nicest, most pitying and pious way: Die <3"
Dracula: "wh--"
Mina: "Jonathan, darling, be sure to show him mercy when you find him in his little dirt box which is currently at sea and fleeing back to his hidey hole castle in the Carpathians <3"
Dracula: "Hang on,"
Jonathan, kukri out: "I named it Mercy <3" 🔪

Rereading the Grisha trilogy I find myself wondering, as I go through the chapters of S&S and R&R, would there be a possibility that LB had Zoyalai in mind while creating the first three books? The interactions between both are nothing, we could count on our fingers the times when they are both in the same place or when Zoya asks something and Nikolai answers (and let's not forget when Alina told him who he should marry by putting "a Grisha like Zoya" as an option and he was TOTALLY aware of her presence). Maybe I'm too fascinated with my Zoyalai but I stop every time their names are close together in a paragraph, line by line, on the same page.
Silly wee Jonathan Harker warmup sketch idk if I’ll ever finish
(this is in my language, but it is the wedding date of our dear Lucy Westenra) imagine this day, being marked yesterday, beautiful and sunny with flowers and lots of joy, if it weren't for that damned walking leech
HELP
- Don't go - he begged, still half asleep. - I have to take a shower. I smell like a forest fire. - You smell like wildflowers. As always. What can I say to make you stay? - His words became a sleepy murmur as he fell asleep again.
Tell me it's more than war and worry that makes you speak these words. Tell me what they would mean if you were not a king and I were not a soldier. (...)
She brushed the hair away from his face and kissed his forehead.
- I'd stay forever if I could - she whispered. He wouldn't remember anyway.
